Raising kids with ADHD is challenging.
Traditional parenting techniques that should work (and that work with typical kids) simply don’t.
You may have spent hours scouring the internet, searching for advice, often ending up with unhelpful, and in the worst case, contradictory, information.
The ADHD Parenting Summit brings together world-renowned experts in psychology, education, and occupational therapy.
They will provide groundbreaking knowledge and practical advice to support you with raising kids with ADHD.

BOOKS
Books I’m Reading—and Why I Think They Matter

I love sharing what I’m reading—especially when a book has the power to shift perspectives, encourage growth, or deepen spiritual practice. Here is one that is speaking to me right now:
I had a chance to chat with Pushkar via zoom. He was a kind, generous and giving man. I will interview him in the near future and share on my YouTube channel.
📘Manifest Your Infinite Riches: A simple four-step journey to become the person you were always meant to be by Pushkar Anand.
Furthermore, because you are in spiritual harmony, it often feels that a force much bigger than you is taking your hand and guiding you to proceed on the path that you were always meant to take.
Meditation silences the mind and takes you closer to universal spirit. Both these features are important for you to receive guidance on the next steps in our journey
Your deepest wishes, however, can only be fulfilled if, while expressing your genius, you originate from a place of generosity with a genuine desire to positively impact everyone you serve.

The mind is a wonderful gift, teaches Michael A. Singer. But the voice inside our heads can also be a never-ending source of suffering. The solution? Surrender. But what does that mean?
As he puts it: “Surrender is the willingness to let go. To realize that your thoughts, your emotions, and even your body are not you. You are the indwelling consciousness witnessing it all.”
